MatchWare MindView is a complex application that will help you improve your learning skills. It is also a perfect tool for businesses, teachers and students when it comes to organizing information. The program can be used as a highly effective way of brainstorming and structuring ideas visually. It's also very effective in the software design process. The MindView application is based on the proven Mind Mapping theory where ideas, words, tasks or other items are represented by diagrams arranged around a central key word or idea.
The “mind maps” generated by MindView can be used in presentations, reports, designing websites and more. The program is able to export files to Microsoft Office applications, HTML or PDF. Mind maps have been demonstrated to help individuals and businesses achieve higher levels of performance by increasing productivity and organization skills.
The program interface is very intuitive. With MindView you are able to outline your written documents such as meeting agendas, proposals and marketing plans in an easy way. Brainstorming with MindView is far more efficient than doing it on paper because you can list and then organize your ideas in the right order.
Working with MindView timelines is an efficient way of displaying time-related information such as company history, production plans and historical data. You are able to choose from a large variety of templates. MindView provides you with detailed business and educational templates for use in any of the standard Mind Mapping views or the Timeline view.
The MindView application is an efficient tool that will help you improve your learning skills, manage your business easier, design websites and many more.
v4.0.218 [Dec 4, 2010]
MindView 4 has many new features, which are fully described in the User Guide part of this documentation. Here is a brief description of the most important enhancements.
Collaborative features
Shared Workspace: As well as supporting Microsoft SharePoint, MindView now includes its own Shared Workspace. This online workspace allows you to work collaboratively, storing your documents via the web in the workspace where colleagues or fellow students can also access them. Unlike Microsoft SharePoint, the MatchWare Shared Workspace offers true multi-user editing, enabling members of the workspace to work simultaneously on the same mind map and to view instantly any change made by others.
To allow true multi-user editing, MindView 4 enables the owner of a mind map to lock particular branches when sharing the file through the workspace. This ability to lock certain users out of specific branches gives the owner the power to control the flow of work and ensures that the file is accessed, updated and collaborated on by the rightful users.
In addition, when using the mind map as a task list, the project manager can now distribute the tasks to all the resources involved via the workspace, letting the resources view the tasks and update their status directly on the workspace.
For more information about all these features, see "Setting up an online workspace" and all the other topics of the "Collaborating" chapter of this documentation.
